The analysis of gender peculiarities of students‘ par- ticipation in the researched competitions is carried out, and also the geographical factors influencing formation of intellectual poten- tial are considered. In 2019, there were 372 preschool educational institutions, 403 general secondary education institutions, 16 vocational educa- tion institutions and 16 higher education institutions in Chernivtsi oblast, which provided relevant educational services and formed the intellectual potential of the region. In Chernivtsi oblast in the 2019-2020 academic year, 1,814 students took part in the III stage of student academic competitions. The largest number of participants was observed at the academic competition in geography, Ukrainian language and literature, history and biology. In total, 845 participants took top places. The best results were shown by students of Chernivtsi, Storozhynets AH, Novoselytsia AH and students of Kelmentsi rayon. As for the all-Ukrainian competition- defense of research works, in 2020 378 students took part in the competition, of which 187 participants took top places. The best results, as in the academic competition, were demonstrated by students from Chernivtsi and Putyla rayon. Territorial differences in the development of intellectual potential occur under the influence of economic, demographic, legal, environmental, natural and other factors. The following indicators correlate most with the number of points scored by teams: the number of educational institutions in the rayon; share of new type of institutions (gymnasiums, lyceums, etc.); language of instruction. The gender structure of participants and winners of these intellectual competitions deserves a special attention. Girls predom- inate in the gender structure of participants and winners of the academic competition and defense competition in most subjects, espe- cially in subjects of the philological and philosophical cycle, while the number of boys predominates in the academic competitions of the physical and mathematical cycle. Thus, in Chernivtsi oblast there is a significant differentiation between territorial and adminis- trative units according to the results of the III stage of student academic competitions in basic disciplines and the competition-defense of scientific works of students-members of the Small Academy of Sciences. Key words: intellectual potential, education, general secondary education institution, student academic competition, competi- tion-defense of scientific works. Юрій Білоус. СУСПІЛЬНО-ГЕОГРАФІЧНІ ОСОБЛИВОСТІ ФОРМУВАННЯ ІНТЕЛЕКТУАЛЬНОГО ПОТЕНЦІАЛУ ЧЕРНІВЕЦЬКОЇ ОБЛАСТІ У статті розглянуто особливості формування інтелектуального потенціалу Чернівецької області шляхом аналізу його складових, а також було проведено аналіз участі учнів в учнівських олімпіадах з навчальних предметів та у конкурсі-захисті науково-дослідницьких робіт учнів-членів Малої академії наук України, а також їх результатів. Проведено аналіз гендерних особливостей участі учнів у досліджуваних конкурсах, а також розглянуто географічні чинники, що впливають на фор- мування інтелектуального потенціалу. У 2019 році в Чернівецькій області функціонувало 372 дошкільних навчальних закладів, 403 заклади загальної се- редньої освіти, 16 закладів професійної освіти та 16 закладів вищої освіти, які надавали відповідні освітні послуги та фор- мували інтелектуальний потенціал регіону. Загалом у Чернівецькій області в олімпіадах взяли участь 1814 учнів, з яких призові місця здобули 845 учасників. Найкращі результати продемонстрували учні м. Чернівці, Сторожинецької об‘єднаної територіальної громади (ОТГ), Новоселицької ОТГ та учні Кельменецького району. Що ж стосується Всеукраїнського кон- курсу-захисту науково-дослідницьких робіт, то у 2020 році в конкурсі взяли участь 378 учнів, з яких 187 учасників здобули призові місця. Найкращі результати продемонстрували учні м. Чернівці та Путильського району. Особливої уваги заслуговує гендерна структура учасників та призерів даних інтелектуальних змагань. В статевій структурі учасників та призерів олімпіади та конкурсу-захисті з більшості предметів переважають дівчата, особливо це про- являється у предметах філологічного та філософського циклу, натомість кількість хлопців переважає на олімпіадах фізико- математичного циклу. Для кращого розуміння формування територіальних відмін у формуванні результативності учнів у інтелектуальних змаганнях нами було розглянуто чинники їх формування. Одним із найважливіших чинників є кількість закладів загальної середньої освіти в громаді, що призводить до більшої конкуренції, а також типи навчальних закладів, що дозволяє зосередитись на вивченні окремих предметів. Ключові слова: інтелектуальний потенціал, освіта, заклад загальної середньої освіти, учнівські олімпіади, конкурс- захист наукових робіт. Юрий Билоус. ОБЩЕСТВЕННО-ГЕОГРАФИЧЕСКИЕ ОСОБЕННОСТИ ФОРМИРОВАНИЯ ИНТЕЛЛЕКТУ- АЛЬНОГО ПОТЕНЦИАЛА ЧЕРНОВИЦКОЙ ОБЛАСТИ В статье рассмотрены особенности формирования интеллектуального потенциала Черновицкой области путем ана- лиза его составляющих, а также был проведен анализ участия учеников в олимпиадах по учебным предметам и в конкурсе- защите научно-исследовательских работ учеников-членов Малой академии наук Украины, а также их результатов. _________________ © Bilous Y., 2020 90 2020 Часопис соціально-економічної географії випуск 29 Проведен анализ гендерных особенностей участия учеников в исследуемых конкурсах, а также рассмотрен ряд факторов, влияющих на формирование интеллектуального потенциала. В 2019 году в Черновицкой области функционировало 372 дошкольных учебных заведений, 403 учреждения общего среднего образования, 16 учреждений профессионального образования и 16 учреждений высшего образования, которые предоставляли соответствующие образовательные услуги и формировали интеллектуальный потенциал региона. Всего в Черновицкой области в олимпиадах приняли участие 1814 учеников, из которых призовые места получили 845 участников. Лучшие результаты продемонстрировали учащиеся г. Черновцы, Сторожинецкой ОТГ, Новоселицкого ОТГ и ученики Кельменецкого района. Что же касается Всеукраинского конкурса-защиты научно-исследовательских работ, то в 2020 году в конкурсе приняли участие 378 учеников, из которых 187 участников получили призовые места. Лучшие результаты, как и в олимпиаде продемонстрировали ученики г. Черновцы, а также Путильского района. Особого внимания заслуживает гендерная структура участников и призеров данных интеллектуальных соревнова- ний. В половой структуре участников и призеров олимпиады и конкурса-защиты по большинству предметов преобладают девушки, особенно это проявляется в предметах филологического и философского цикла, зато количество ребят преоблада- ет на олимпиадах физико-математического цикла. Для лучшего понимания формирования территориальных различий в формировании результативности учащихся в интеллектуальных соревнованиях нами были рассмотрены факторы их форми- рования. Одним из важнейших факторов является количество заведений общего среднего образования в обществе, что при- водит к большей конкуренции, а также типы учебных заведений, позволяет сосредоточиться на изучении отдельных пред- метов. Ключевые слова: интеллектуальный потенциал, образование, учреждение общего среднего образования, учениче- ские олимпиады, конкурс-защита научных работ. Formulation of the problem.

Określono zakres organizacji przestrzennej tego systemu, uwzględniając elementy społeczno-geograficzne zachodniego makroregionu Ukrainy. Na podstawie przeprowadzonych badań należy stwierdzić, że struktura terytorialna organizacji produkcji i rozmieszczenia ludności zachodniej Ukrainy na charakter radialno-koncentryczny, co jest optymalnym wariantem kompozycji przestrzennej układu społecznego regionu. Słowa kluczowe : system zaludnienia, Ukraina Zachodnia Key words : settling system, West Ukraine Problem Statement Improvement of territorial structure of settling systems is among the major prob- lems when it regards territorial organization of social-geographic complexes. Ac- tuality of the problem is evidenced by introducing of the Territory Planning and Building Act, Ukraine, of 20 April 2000, and the General Scheme of Ukrainian Ter- ritory Planning Act, Ukraine, of 7 February 2002, both Acts establishing legal and organizational bases for planning, cultivation and provision of stable progress in in- habited localities, development of industrial, social and engineering-transport infra- structure ( Territory Planning and Building ... 2002, General Scheme of Ukrainian Territory ... 2002). Initial Premises Need for improvement of territorial organization of productive forces on specific stages of development delineates a circle of problems that require scientific research. 27 When studying problems of settling in 50-70-ies of the 20 th century, national geo- graphical science focused the majority of its attention upon separate towns and cit- ies, in particular, upon limitation of population increase in big cities, and to active growth of mid and small-sized towns.

    Strasbourg, 15 January 2014 ECRML (2014) 3 EUROPEAN CHARTER FOR REGIONAL OR MINORITY LANGUAGES APPLICATION OF THE CHARTER IN UKRAINE 2nd monitoring cycle A. Report of the Committee of Experts on the Charter B. Recommendation of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe on the application of the Charter by Ukraine The European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages provides for a control mechanism to evaluate how the Charter is applied in a State Party with a view to, where necessary, making recommendations for improving its language legislation, policy and practices. The central element of this procedure is the Committee of Experts, set up under Article 17 of the Charter. Its principal purpose is to report to the Committee of Ministers on its evaluation of compliance by a Party with its undertakings, to examine the real situation of regional or minority languages in the State and, where appropriate, to encourage the Party to gradually reach a higher level of commitment. To facilitate this task, the Committee of Ministers adopted, in accordance with Article 15, paragraph1, an outline for periodical reports that a Party is required to submit to the Secretary General. The report should be made public by the State. This outline requires the State to give an account of the concrete application of the Charter, the general policy for the languages protected under Part II and, in more precise terms, all measures that have been taken in application of the provisions chosen for each language protected under Part III of the Charter. The Committee of Experts’ first task is therefore to examine the information contained in the periodical report for all the relevant regional or minority languages on the territory of the State concerned.
